Everyone,

I am trying to set up a second internal network  (192.168.0.0/24) and
have not been able to get dhcp to start when I have the following in my
dhcpd.conf file :

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.0.110 192.168.0.130;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
        option routers 192.168.0.1;
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
}

When i remove the above from dhcpd.conf dhcpd works perfectly

I have my internal nic card set with two ip addresses one of which is
192.168.0.1. the other address is my standard internal network address.

I have also set up the domain server to allow access from
192.168.0.0/24, and the firewall allows internal access to the same
subnet.

The error that I get is the following :

Job for dhcpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status dhcpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

When I evaluate journalctl -xe the following is obtained :

When I review the information about dhcpd it appears that it can manage
the ip addresses for two networks on different nic cards, but is there a
problem in having it manage two networks on the same nic card?

Does anyone have any ideas?  Would sure appreciate your help.
